TUSCALOOSA features live versions of songs from Young’s self-titled 1969 debut (“Here We Are In The Years”) plus classic songs from his two most commercially successful albums of his early career, After The Goldrush (1970) and Harvest (1972).

The sonic quality of these tracks is nothing short of astonishing making this album an essential listening experience. Live photographs by Joel Bernstein complete the packaging.
